Notes
*Cake can be baked in 9"x13" pan as well, reduce baking time to 45-50 minutes.
- Use room temperature ingredients: Softened butter, room temp eggs, and sour cream mix more smoothly and create a lighter cake.
- Don’t overmix the batter: Stir just until the dry ingredients disappear to avoid a dense texture.
- Check for doneness: Oven times vary, start with 45 minutes and add additional time as needed.
- Let it cool before slicing: This helps the streusel set and gives cleaner slices.
- Make ahead friendly: Bake the night before, cover tightly, and serve warm the next morning.
